Wu Peng forced a little smile and said to Eunuch Zhao: "My father-in-law, it's really a misunderstanding. Shopkeeper Chen has been feeling unwell recently..."
"I feel unwell..." Eunuch Zhao giggled and said disdainfully: "From the eyes of the Zajia family, it doesn't seem to be unwell, it seems like I have some heart disease."
Wu Peng smiled awkwardly. If it were someone else, in order to avoid angering Eunuch Zhao, he would just arrange a few words according to his words. However, the identity of "Shopkeeper Chen" was too sensitive, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything, just laughed dryly.
Eunuch Zhao said coldly: "The Zajia is not an unreasonable person. Since Manager Wu has come to the door, the Zajia can't turn you out now. Tell me, why are you here to find me? But you discovered illegal people in the caravan, so let the Zajia eliminate the harm for you?"
Wu Peng turned around in a hurry, and a cold sweat oozed from his forehead, saying, "No, no, Eunuch Zhao, I'm afraid that the wrong person was caught in the prefect's office. The caravan has always been very cautious in recruiting personnel. I guess there must be some misunderstandings here. The villain is here to protect and take all the arrested friends back, begging Mr. Zhao to openly express his grace..."
Eunuch Zhao's face suddenly turned dark and he slapped the table with a slam: "What do you mean? It means that the scattered family took the wrong person and wrongly accused your treasure caravan. The scattered family deliberately made things difficult for you? Misunderstanding? The scattered family wants to know why the misunderstanding is that you said there are no illegal people in the caravan, but why do you find prohibited items such as muskets and gunpowder in this warehouse? Could it be that you did it on purpose? It is your caravan who secretly did business with the thorns and the Tatars?"
Wu Peng was startled and waved his hand quickly: "No...No..."
Eunuch Zhao sneered again and said, "This is not, nor that is that. Could it be that my man-in-law was putting it in and wrongly accusing you?"
"That's even more." Wu Peng, after all, after all, he has been through business for so many years, was brave when doing business, but when facing the yamen, he was even less courageous than the needle tip. Eunuch Zhao said one by one and one by one, almost scared him to death. He smiled bitterly: "Eunuch Zhao is not such a person, and the villain has no intention of this. The villain just said that there must be a misunderstanding here. Eunuch Zhao... This time Wu came and prepared a gift..."
Now that things are getting worse and wrong, it is better to bring the benefits immediately. While he said that, he took out a gift list from his sleeve, forced out an ugly smile, and handed it to the table where Eunuch Zhao was elbowing. Eunuch Zhao just glanced at the gift list. The small profit was really good, and he filled a piece of white paper with densely packed pieces of paper. I am afraid that it would be worth at least 3,000 taels of silver in total.
Eunuch Zhao smiled.
If someone else gave this gift, with Eunuch Zhao's greedy nature, nothing big will be gone.
However, Eunuch Zhao knew in his heart that he could not accept this gift from Jubao Trading Company. Compared to selling goods from the eight surnames of Jubao Trading Company, what is the benefit? As long as the eight surnames of Jubao Trading Company are done, he could get tens of thousands of dollars in filial piety every year in Datong. How could he look down on such a little benefit?
He narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were filled with cold air. He immediately picked up the gift list, smiled at Wu Peng, rubbed the gift list in his hand, and then tore it to pieces.
The ink-diped shredded paper was sprinkled on the ground. Eunuch Zhao had already slapped the table and roared in his unique duck voice: "Bold, you shopkeeper Wu, I'm going to see you now. I thought you were a businessman with your duty, but I never thought that you were such a person. Who are you a chaotic family? Is it your kind of person who accepts your gifts? There is nothing wrong with the corrupt officials in this world, but the chaotic family has always been clean and obeyed the law. All they think is to do for the emperor and be loyal to the court. What does it mean to send this gift list, you are a bastard?"
He seemed to feel confused, and stood up, pointed at Wu Peng with hissing, "Come on, come on, take down this profiteer named Wu!"
After hearing this, the servant outside rushed in without saying a word and took Wu Peng.
Wu Peng was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Eunuch Zhao, what do you mean?"
Eunuch Zhao sneered at him and said, "What does the Zajia mean? The Zajia wants to ask you what it means. As the shopkeeper of Jubao Trading Company, you not only shelter the illegal people within the caravan, but also gave me such a big gift to bribe my father-in-law. Jubao Trading Company was approved by the emperor and was also a big business that the imperial court had special orders to trade with foreign media. You are a villain who actually did this under the name of a business bank. The person who came to take this person down and beat him dozens of platoons!"
With a command, the minions at his lower head took Wu Peng down, regardless of Wu Peng's wail.
Eunuch Zhao sat back on the chair, his face became extremely deep. He sneered, called a confidant and slowly ordered: "This person surnamed Wu, I will send it back after being beaten to death. Wait a while, the family will write a letter, and you will send the person surnamed Wu back with this letter."
After saying that, he asked someone to bring a pen and ink, rolled up his sleeves and wrote a letter to his confidant, and said, "Go."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Jubao Trading Company, when Wu Peng was wounded and was carried back on airs, the whole business was suddenly panicked again, and some people even gave in. Originally, the business was doing things in this business, but he thought it was a good deal. Besides, there were so many businesses and there was a shelter. But who knew that the first time he was selling goods, he encountered such a big trouble. The servants in Datong City seemed to have a grudge against Jubao Caravan, and were wrongly accusing the caravans everywhere. Now not only the guys were in trouble, but also the dignified shopkeeper Wu looked half-dead. In a moment, many people went to resign.
Wu Peng was also carried to the backyard, in the flower hall where Liu Chengfeng was flying.
Wu Peng was beaten to death and was already out of breath. Liu Chengfeng personally diagnosed his pulse. When he let go of his pulse, his face was obviously relieved, and he did not hurt his muscles. I guess the dead eunuch named Zhao did not really want to kill Wu Peng. He just injured some flesh and blood. He would take some good medicine for a few days, take some careful care.
Liu Chengfeng asked about the story of Wu Peng. Wu Peng endured it and told the whole story. Finally, Liu Chengfeng turned his eyes to the letter from Eunuch Zhao.
The handwriting of Eunuch Zhao is pretty good, but between the lines, he is righteous. He first talked about the importance of Jubao Trading Company, which means being in the same heart and virtue as Jubao Trading Company. Then he said that since there were illegal people in this Jubao Trading Company, as a guardian eunuch, he naturally could not sit idly by. In order to ensure the safety of the caravan, he had to pull out the black sheep in the Jubao Trading Company no matter what, otherwise Jubao Trading Company would have to go out of the way and something big would happen.
Finally, he changed his subject and said that Wu Peng actually bribed him when he was eliminating the Jubao Caravan, but he was afraid that this person would have any collusion with those illegal people. However, his identity was a little sensitive. Eunuch Zhao simply gave him a lesson first and then sent him back. As for how to deal with Wu Peng, Jubao Caravan will do it by himself.
Awesome!
This Eunuch Zhao was indeed from the palace, and his methods of persecution were extremely sharp. Even Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be amazed. He forbidden the caravan from going out of seclusion, captured the caravan's mates everywhere, and beat the caravan's mates half dead. However, the dead eunuch named Zhao not only felt guilty, but was justified. He acted as if he was good for your treasure merchants, and for the good of the court, he spoke for the palace. After a change of the subject, he also showed a tone of wearing the same pair of pants as the Jubao merchants. But, when he said this, no one could make any mistakes. Even if the lawsuit was beaten to the front of the imperial court, no one could make any mistakes.
Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said, "The person surnamed Zhao is a very interesting person. These various methods of slandering people are really clever."
Li Dongdong, who was standing aside, said: "The Marquis was still interested in making fun of him. Now everyone is so injured. The caravan will not know when it will be allowed to leave the customs. At present, it is important to deal with the matter quickly, otherwise there will be endless disasters."
Liu Chengfeng was silent for a moment and said lightly: "The Jubao Caravan is so disappointed. Well, today, let's give them a lesson so that they can know what to do if they encounter such a thing in the future. But it's too late today, so I'll take care of this matter tomorrow. Mr. Li, why not play another game and come and take Manager Wu to recover from his injuries."
Li Dongdong stayed, and the two asked someone to light the lamp and set up chess pieces in the study. Li Dongdong smiled slightly, and while playing with the chess pieces in his hand, he asked, "What is the Marquis going to do?"
Liu Chengfeng did not speak, but made a first decision, and Li Dongdong became serious. Liu Chengfeng always made a name for himself and showed his sharpness. Li Dongdong was thinking about his thoughts, but he was almost in danger.
At this time, Liu Chengfeng suddenly raised his eyes, smiled at Li Dongdong, and said, "However you play chess, do it!"
Li Dongdong was confused at first, then understood, and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "It may not be possible to succeed if it is too reckless."
Liu Chengfeng set up a black piece, lowered his head and looked at the chess game, and said, "Then please wait and see, the simpler the method is the most useful."
